Model-Making Techniques Cutting: There are three methods of cutting: scissors, knife, and chisel. Scissors are used for most curves A knife guided by a straight edge is used for straight cuts. Chisel cuts are useful for areas too small to get into with scissors. Scoring and folding: The purpose of the score is only to force the card to fold where you want it to, without wrinkling. Gluing: Spread the glue in very thin, even coats, and it will dry quickly
